Yes, there is one in China. On July 4th, 20 18, the Department of Ocean and Fisheries of Hainan Province promulgated the Measures for the Examination and Approval of the Development and Utilization of Islands without Residents in Hainan Province, allowing units or individuals to apply for the development and utilization of islands without residents. As soon as the policy came out, the "island dream" that people were eager to move was once again evoked. After all, as long as you can buy a small island of your own at a price lower than that of a suite in Beishangguang, everyone will be moved. However, buying an island seems simple, but it is not easy to operate well. I like the feeling of freedom on the island. The romantic behavior of buying an island always begins with a romantic reason. Lin Dong, the founder of "China Island Owners Alliance" with more than 20 islands, likes to go to the seaside to play since he was a child and has a strange feeling for islands. 1992, when he was still in college, he once climbed Junshan in Yueyang with his favorite female classmates. On the beautiful island in the middle of the lake, they made a wish to buy an island in the future and live a life envied by the gods. "Later, love was gone, and the love of the island was still there." Lin Dong said jokingly. Six years after graduation, Lin Dong rented an island for the purpose of planting, and it was out of control from then on: in 2006, he bought the first island in the middle of the lake for leisure and vacation; Purchase and lease of islands began in 2007; 20 12 began overseas layout. "Now I have more than 20 lakes and islands and a dozen peninsulas." Among them, Lin Dong often goes to an island in the middle of the lake called Garland Island. There are sand stalls and many crystal stones on the island, which are full of energy and are an excellent choice for health preservation. In 2007, Lin Dong met a group of like-minded "island owners". They exchanged investment experience and shared island-building experience. As the circle grew bigger and bigger, he formed the Island Owners Alliance. Today, the alliance has 238 people and more than 400 islands around the world. What should be done to develop uninhabited islands? Lin Dong personally thinks that aquaculture is a good choice. "The breeding island is cheap, the requirements are not high, the investment is not big, and you can enjoy the use of private islands while having the benefits of breeding." He has reservations about the development of tourism. In the examination and approval method, the development period of tourist island is 25 years, and the investment requirements are too high and the time is too short. Compared with the development of uninhabited islands in China, islands in developed countries have permanent property rights, while in China it is basically 50 years. When buying an island overseas, information collection is the most important. Lin Dong suggested that newcomers who buy islands should not rush to buy them before they have been inspected for more than one year. Today, the Island Owners Alliance has established dozens of guidelines and standards for purchasing islands, and used its own evaluation system to measure the investment value of islands around the world with natural capital. Buy an island and consider "three steps". "It is easy to buy an island, difficult to build, and more difficult to plan." If you have a great island blueprint in your mind and your wallet is thick enough to get ready for a big fight, then buying an island can be roughly divided into three steps. The first step is to plan first. According to the conditions of today's uninhabited islands, building characteristic islands is the first choice. Secondly, match the asset resources of the island and the land and use them uniformly. For example, a real estate project near the sea does not need to spend too much money to build a club next to a large holiday building. It is best to choose a nearby uninhabited island as a supporting property. The second step is to determine the location and use of the uninhabited island, and prepare the uninhabited island use fund accordingly. According to the distribution and development degree of uninhabited islands, the state divides uninhabited islands into six grades and nine types of islands. Similar to buying a house, the price is different according to different huxing and lots. For example, the uninhabited island near Pudong New Area in Shanghai naturally belongs to the most expensive one. Take the uninhabited island in Hainan as an example. If it is planned to develop an uninhabited island with an area of 1 10,000 square meters near Sansha City (the sixth category) for tourism use, it will only cost 7,500 yuan per year. If an uninhabited island with an area of 10000 square meters near Haitang District (Class III) in Sanya City is selected as an island for urban and rural construction for heavy development, the annual use fee will rise to 134800 yuan. The third step is to prepare the examination and approval materials and go through the examination and approval procedures. According to the examination and approval measures, units or individuals applying for the development and utilization of uninhabited islands shall prepare an application for the development and utilization of uninhabited islands, a specific plan for the development and utilization of uninhabited islands and a demonstration report on the development and utilization of uninhabited islands. Explain the planning, development purpose and follow-up ecological protection scheme. One by one, and then checked and verified by the provincial marine administrative department, your dream will come true. Source: Special Health in the Second Half of the Year
